The Chicago White Sox begin the 2013 spring training season on Saturday, February 23 as the "visiting" team against the Los Angeles Dodgers at Camelback Ranch - Glendale (CR-G), the teams' shared ballpark in Glendale, Ariz.

White Sox pitchers and catchers are scheduled to report to spring training on February 12, with position players reporting on February 17. Physicals and workouts are scheduled for both days.

The White Sox will play 16 home games at CR-G, including one against the crosstown-rival Cubs (March 15) and the World Series Champion San Francisco Giants (March 4), two against National League Central Champion Cincinnati (March 2 and March 10) and one game against Oakland (March 16), winners of the American League West.
